Sweet Rest
January 14, 2014
Read: Psalm 4
Try as we mighttossing, turning, fluffing the pillow, pounding the pillowsometimes we just cant fall asleep. After offering some good suggestions on how to get a better nights sleep, a news article concluded that there really is no right way to sleep.
There are numerous reasons why sleep eludes us, many of which we cant do much about. But sometimes unwanted wakefulness is caused by anxious thoughts, worry, or guilt. Its then that the example of David in Psalm 4 can help. He called out to God, asking for mercy and for God to hear his prayer (v.1). He also reminded himself that the Lord does hear him when he calls on Him (v.3). David encourages us: Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still (v.4). Focusing our minds on the goodness, mercy, and love of God for His world, our loved ones, and ourselves can aid us in trusting the Lord (v.5).
The Lord desires to help us set aside our worries about finding solutions to our problems and place our trust in Him to work things out. He can put gladness in our hearts (v.7), so that we might lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make [us] dwell in safety (v.8).
Give me a spirit of peace, dear Lord,
Midst the storms and the tempests that roll,
That I may find rest and quiet within,
A calm buried deep in my soul. Dawe
Even when we cannot sleep, God can give us rest.

My son just called from Marine boot camp. I could barely understand a word, something to the effect that I’ll hear from him in two to three weeks. This is what he wants and I’m happy for him, but it’s going to be a rough couple of weeks for this mom.

Welcome to the Canteen, Excellence (Mom). We thank your son for choosing to serve our country.
Did he just arrive? I think they "get" to call home and say they arrived safely. Then the yelling starts. d:o)

The yelling was going on in the background by all the other guys calling at the same time. I’m glad I recorded it. He won’t sleep tonight.
Thanks for the good thoughts.
